You've probably seen it before. Someone is giving a speech, and another person stands near the speaker, mouthing the speaker's words for people who can read lips. In a graceful dance, his or her arms and hands visually repeat the speaker's words in signs. If the speech is broadcast on television, the signer is sometimes shown in a window at the corner of the screen. Audience members who are hard of hearing or deaf can understand the speech through the signs.

Deaf or hard-of-hearing people could also read the text of the speech, but it might not be available in writing. Besides, signing offers many advantages that reading cannot. Seeing the speaker, even if his or her words cannot be heard, can be important. The audience can observe the speaker's facial expressions and body language, which can change the meaning of the spoken words. The signer will often attempt to convey the speaker's tone or precise meaning with facial expressions that accompany the signs. For instance, when the speaker asks a question instead of making a statement, signers will raise their eyebrows, widen their eyes, and tilt their bodies forward to convey that what they are signing is a question.

Many different sign languages are used around the world. In the United States, most people use a system called American Sign Language (ASL). ASL is a complex, complete language, just like spoken English. ASL even has different "pronunciations" for certain words in different regions of the country. In ASL, some signs represent specific words. Touching one's fingers to the brim of an imaginary cap means "man." The sign was created when most men wore hats and would tip their hats when greeting someone.

However, most of ASL is based more on ideas than on words. For example, a person might hold both thumbs and index fingers at right angles and move both hands and arms apart. The person is indicating "big" or "large." The same sign would be used for a big man, a large amount of money, or a serious problem. When a person strokes an imaginary beard by moving a loose fist down from the chin, he or she is indicating "old." That same sign could describe an elderly person, an old car, or a story from long ago.

Many people believe in "total communication," which means saying words and signing them at the same time. A person might have only partial hearing loss, so he or she could hear some of the sounds the speaker makes. The speaker's lip movements, voice, signs, and facial expressions are like pieces of a puzzle. The theory is that total communication provides every possible means to get an idea across.


6


Not every word or idea in English has a sign. Proper names and other words that have no signs are often spelled out with the sign alphabet. Sometimes the letters of the sign alphabet are used as words. For example, the sign for T and the sign for V together mean "television." Just like "TV" spoken aloud, the two sign letters indicate the word. In other cases, the full name of a person or thing is spelled out because there is no simple way to communicate it. If a person's name is Tina, she could use the signs for T-I-N-A.


7


If you are not hard of hearing, why would you bother to learn sign language? For one thing, it will allow you to communicate with people who are hard of hearing or deaf. You can translate for them, helping them to understand others and be understood. Many people choose to make ASL translation their career. On an individual level, learning ASL will also help in forming friendships with deaf or hard-of-hearing people.


8


Sign language can be useful for other reasons, even among hearing people. You might be too far away to hear someone, but not too far away to see the person. A couple of gestures can send an important message. Suppose you are in a situation in which you couldn't speak out loud, like in a theater. You might want to send a message to a friend who is not right next to you. It would be rude to shout while the performance is going on, but you could always send a sign message. Sign language can benefit people who are deaf, partially deaf, or hearing.




Which is the central idea of the passage?

A.
Hearing people should learn ASL to assist hard-of-hearing or deaf people.

B.
It is easier for hard-of-hearing or deaf people to watch ASL than read a transcript.

C.
ASL is a language that hard-of-hearing or deaf people in America use to communicate.

D.
Hard-of-hearing or deaf people face many problems that ASL can help solve.

Explanation:

The theme of this poem is that a single tragedy can make you sensitive to the possibility of future tragedies.

In poems, the theme is the underlying idea or the idea the author wants to convey.

In this poem, the narrator describes she survived to tragedy as she lost a child and she is thinking about all the possible accidents or tragedies that are still waiting to happen.

The main underlying idea is how tragedies are possible and part of life but one is only aware of it once one experiences tragedy or in other words that a single tragedy can make you sensitive to the possibility of future tragedies.

Note: This question is incomplete because the poem is missing; here is the missing poem:

There is no infant his time,

only my own life swaddled

in bandages

and handed back to me

to hold in my two arms

like any new thing,

to hold to my bruised breasts and promise to cherish.

The smell of cut

insistent as anesthetic.

It is spring.

Outside the hospital window

the first leaves have opened

their shiny blades,

and a dozen new accidents

turn over in their sleep,

waiting to happen.

Answer:

D.  It attempts to modify something or someone unknown to the reader.

Explanation:

Modifiers are used to alter or change the meaning of sentences. Adjectives and adverbs can serve as modifiers. Dangling modifiers, however, are unclear as to what they truly modify. In the sentence below;

The girls left immediately.

"Immediately" is an adverb that modifies the verb, "left".

Dangling modifiers do not have the object being modified present. If we only said,

"Immediately"

a person might be confused about what we are saying. This is a dangling modifier. But if we said,

"Immediately, the girls left".

The meaning is better comprehended.

Explanation:

While you may think Public school is better for education, Homeschooling is better for many reasons. The most important thing that leads to success while being  homeschooled is the sense of responsibility and organization. In public school, you have teachers  that help you stay  on top of your work while at home, you have to learn maturity and time management. From The Homeschool Legal Defense Association  it says that “reports that homeschool students have a 30% higher GPA. The National Home Education Research Institute reports that, on average, homeschooled students have 15-30% higher grades than public school students.” Another great thing about being home schooled is about distractions. While yes, you may say that at home there are distractions like your parents or your dog, at school, there is a higher stress level. The website https://www.edutopia.org/ says “More holistically, though, social and emotional learning shouldn’t be seen as an add-on in high school, or be equated with a loss of academic rigor and instructional minutes: Self-care can actually become part of the curriculum—as some schools are recognizing.” While you may wonder why this has to do with being successful, people seem to struggle a lot when it comes to being social at school. I say as long as your kid is homeschooled and is able to be social as often as possible with other people, there is no reason for the extra stress at school which has proven to stress kids out and lower test grades and their overall GPA.

Answer:

Expository: Jimmy waking up on a Sunday morning to the sound of an ambulance.

Rising action: Jimmy checking out the window and getting curious about what he sees; his going to the street to get to see who the familiar woman and boy are.

Climax: Jimmy realizing the boy is himself.

Falling action: Jimmy crying and hearing the sound of his alarm clock.

Resolution: Jimmy waking up and realizing it was all just a dream.

Explanation:

Exposition is where the author introduces the setting and the characters to readers. Once those are established, the author introduces events that generate conflict as the rising action. When the tension caused by those events reach its peak and the major conflict of all has to be dealt with, we have the climax of the story. Once the climax is over, falling action begins, where there is a decrease in tension. Finally, we have the resolution, where the story ends.

Answer:

D. ironic perspective

Explanation:

Answer D

Correct. Irony emerges from the differences between an argument and the readers’ expectations or values. At the very beginning of the second paragraph, the author undermines the readers’ expectations regarding schemes of merriment (plans for enjoyment) with the assertion that “Nothing is more hopeless than a scheme of merriment.” He then goes on to describe how the anticipated pleasure of participants ends up ruining a social gathering: wits and humorists who come together “prepared to laugh and to applaud” are unable to perform as expected, and the party drags on painfully “till at last none can bear any longer the presence of the rest.” The failed social gathering is just one example that the author uses to convey his ironic perspective regarding people’s attempts to enjoy themselves; the example of the traveler who embarks on a “journey of pleasure” (paragraph 4, sentence 1) illustrates again the ironic contrast between people’s imagination of pleasurable activities and their actual experience of such activities.

Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person because of their gender. Gender-based violence and violence against women are terms that are often used interchangeably as it has been widely acknowledged that most gender-based violence is inflicted on women and girls, by men.

GBV occurs as a result of normative role expectations and unequal power relationships between genders in society. Patriarchal power structures dominate in many societies, in which male leadership is seen as the norm, and men hold the majority of power.
